Mr. Dargan was very active in his church serving for almost a decade as a secretary-treasurer of the Serra Club in Seattle, He also served as president of the Sacred Heart parish council in Seattle and was a Eucharistic minister for the parish for many years, attending mass every day.
Wherever Paul was he made a friend and he had many friends over the years in Seattle.
